Nutcracker vs. mouseking

Adapted from the story by E.T.A. Hoffman
Directed by Brian Rott and Simon Eichinger

​Strange and surreal, "Nussknacker und Mausekönig", written in 1816, was criticized at its time of publication for being too mature for children and too fantastical for adults. 

​This exciting production challenges the power of imagination, and takes its audience on a wicked trip to the battlefield, through mouse-holes, across continents-time and space-to explore the territory that lies between fantasy and reality. 


"What happens when a troupe of talented young artists takes on a bizarre old children’s story? Something like Nutcracker vs. Mouse King, the beautiful, ambitious, and baffling original performance by Quasimondo, a new physical theater company...Quasimondo is the brainchild of Brian Rott, who has studied physical theater at the Accademia Del'Arte in Italy. He's gathered a talented troupe of actors, dancers, sculptors, puppeteers and musicians into a truly impressive ensemble."
Jeff Grygny, Milwaukee Theater Examiner

"While it may have a DIY aesthetic that’s as much practical as conceptual, it’s one of the most artful shows I’ve seen in some time...I laughed more watching Nutcracker vs. Mouse King that I have at anything in months."
MATTHEW REDDIN, URBAN MILWAUKEE.COM
